Daley: Furloughs for schools, park district, CTA

July 28, 2009

A few weeks after forcing non-union city workers to take 15 unpaid days off, Mayor Richard Daley today announced a plan for top employees at six other agencies he controls to forego raises and take furlough days to save more than $18 million.

The latest cutbacks impact more than 2,000 non-union employees at Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Transit Authority, City Colleges of Chicago, Chicago Park District, the Chicago Housing Authority and the Public Building Commission, Daley announced at a City Hall news conference.
